Me regala* una gaseosa All in all, despite the fact it isn't as enjoyable as it was, The Simpsons is still a great show. My favourite is Kelsey Grammar as Sideshow Bob, a reprising villain I enjoy watching, sinister yet funny. There are many memorable guest performances from various celebrities, and frequent appearances from Phil Hartmann and Tress MacNeille. Hank Azaria is amusing as Moe and Chief Wiggum, and Harry Shearer is suitably chirpy as Ned and impresses equally with his monotonic drawls for Principal Skinner and Reverend Lovejoy. My favourite is Grandpa, he is absolutely hilarious. Then there are the supporting characters. Nancy Cartwright is perfect as Bart, who is quite naughty and hates school, same with Yeardley Smith as studious Lisa. Julie Kavner is also great as Marge, a caring matriarch who genuinely cares for her family. Dan Castallenetta, a talented voice actor whom I fondly remember as Megavolt from Darkwing Duck, does a great job not only as Homer but as Grandpa and Krusty, not loud and abrasive at all but just right. Homer is a type of father figure who repeatedly lets down his family, has a love for doughnuts and beer and pretty much hates his job. And the voice acting is exceptional bringing the dysfunctional family to life. And the visual jokes are also impressive. Not obnoxious or childish, but smart and most importantly funny. Other than the voice acting what made the show so good was its writing. The theme tune is irresistibly catchy and the story lines are outstandingly good. In animated shows, I like animation that is colourful and fluid, and the animation in this show is exactly that. It is true that the show has been declining in written quality the past three years or so, but the more recent seasons are still watchable, thanks to the animation and the endearing characters. And I am glad I did, because it is smart, creative, funny AND original. Well after seeing the Simpsons Movie, I decided to give the show another chance. Maybe I didn't find it as funny, creative or as original anymore. Two years ago though, I stopped watching it. Me and my brother and sisters watched it every day after school, and got a bagful of laughs. When I was 10, I adored the Simpsons, America's favourite dysfunctional family.
